Follow Ken Holland's lead and don't overpay for Shane Doan.
I know that you (or your bosses) want to make a splashy addition this off season and dealing Derek Roy for Steve Ott just isn't enough.
But, giving a four or five year deal at $7 million per year or more to a guy who turns 36yo in a few months and averages around 20 to 25 goals and 55 to 65 points per year lately.
I know that Shane Doan has the reputation as a great leader and you think he'll be a great influence on the young core of the team. But come on, signing him to that deal will likely work out as well as overpaying Chris Drury worked for the NY Rangers.
Follow Ken Holland's lead and back away. There will be other good players available in the future.
If you can't help yourself and need to make a stupid move, then sign Jamie Benn or Ryan O'Reilly to a stupid RFA Offersheet.
That way you get a player entering the prime of his career and you address a position of need!
